The Government recently announced its intention to tackle the issue of private letting advertisements that specify \u2018no DSS\u2019 tenants. Over the coming months, the Government will meet industry representatives to discuss what action can be taken to end this practice. We will also be working with colleagues in other government departments, including the Department for Work & Pensions, to explore how we can drive this change across government.<\/p>"}

In February 2017 we published our Housing White Paper setting out our strategy for fixing our broken housing market. We have taken forward or sponsored four major pieces of relevant legislation since then, as part of our comprehensive package of reform which implements the White Paper and builds on it further. These reforms will make our housing market work better and support our ambition to raise housing supply to 300,000 per year by the mid-2020s.<\/p>
The legislative measures we have implemented include the Neighbourhood Planning Act, which received Royal Assent on 27 April 2017. It introduced wide ranging changes to neighbourhood planning, planning conditions and compulsory purchase.<\/p>
In 2017, we backed the Homelessness Reduction Act, which transforms the culture of homelessness service delivery. From April 2018, the Act has ensured that, for the first time, local authorities, public services and the third sector will work together to actively prevent homelessness for people at risk.<\/p>
We also backed the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, which came into force in March and empowers tenants to hold their landlords to account if they fail to keep the property fit for human habitation.<\/p>
Most recently, we brought forward the Tenant Fees Act 2019, which bans unfair letting fees paid by tenants in the private rented sector and caps tenancy deposits in England. This is part of a wider package of measures aimed at rebalancing the relationship between tenants and landlords to deliver a fairer, good quality and more affordable private rented sector. The ban on unfair letting fees will come into force on 1 June 2019.<\/p>
More widely, the Government has bought forward at least £44 billion of financial support to 2022/23 to increase housing supply and diversify the housing market, as well as reforms such as the revision of the National Planning Policy Framework to ensure more land is available for housing whilst protecting the Green Belt.<\/p>"}

It is for local authorities in rural areas to determine the need for additional council housing provision for older people. We are giving local authorities the tools they need to build. We have abolished the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap, so that local authorities have the freedom to borrow to build in line with the Prudential Code. Additionally, local authorities can bid alongside housing associations for the £9 billion Affordable Homes Programme to build affordable homes; and we are providing a longer term rent deal for 5 years from 2020 so that councils have a stable investment environment to deliver new homes.<\/p>"}

It is crucial that local authority members and mayors inspire confidence and have the trust of the electorate, and that is why I welcome the recent work of the Committee on Standards in Public Life on Local Government Ethical Standards. This concluded that there is a need for some strengthening of the standards and conduct system in local government and for greater safeguards in the delivery of the system. The Government will be responding in due course.<\/p>"}

Following a decision to call in a planning application, a public inquiry is held by an independent Planning Inspector before the case comes to the Secretary of State for determination.<\/p>
As the Noble Lord\u2019s question specified no timeframe, the answer below covers the position since the commencement of the current Parliamentary session in June 2017.<\/p>
In that period, the Secretary of State has called in 17 cases for his determination, of which 12 remain undetermined.<\/p>
Of the 12 undetermined cases, 6 are yet to come before the Secretary of State, and 6 are currently with him. Of the 6 cases with him, 2 have been before him for 7 months, and 4 have been before him for 5 weeks.<\/p>"}
